Cant really say i have had any strong feeling about any sentencing the press has informed me of, certainly not enough to type a comment online This however The 2 yrs 3 months would have been fitting if he had stopped after the initial collision imho. Drunk and hitting a cyclist, not good and a...

Just about the only constant aspect of every tv and movie cop drama is the reliance on delivered food. Relevant? How would Nigel 'I didnt start a riot, honest guv' farage put it, oh yes, Im only asking the question..?

Unfortunately its way more likely that police will make a big song and dance about public policing early one morning in the city centres stopping commuters handing out leaflets and inspecting all the insured cared for bikes while all the food delivery bods are fast asleep after a late night...

Its not just your luddite brain @Ds_77,Tho @saneagle above Knows his e-bikes. So Following his lead will get you and your lad tootling up your hills effortlessly.. HomCom trailers are pretty cheap and work well, newer ones (than mine) have spring suspension even now. the weakest aspect is the...

Considering that includes delivery, packaging?, parts, and labour. Yeah pretty good deal.. -Especially for a successful (fingers crossed) and speedy fix Any less and you would have to start doubting the quality of workmanship.. bike repair guys have to eat as well as pay all their overheads...

Not Yet but only 1 year in with a hub drive conversion.. my 2nd bike tho has a bit of a crusty bearing issue and flaky hall sensor/connecting wire issue im ignoring for the moment. I should pull it and fit new rust/crunch free bearings and sort out the sensor issue, but its always looked like...

imho a Nice big 48v battery 17ah matched with a 17a 36v/48v kt sinewave controller and suitable lcd display (there is a selection) which on paper could supply (54.6V x 17A = 928W) to a 250w motor.. Match that with a 36v 250w hub motor of your choice (fwiw i fitted a yose-power kit last summer...

IF you detail your expected use and donor bike, include terrain details (hills?) and speed/range expectations and budget. Im sure the best minds in here could suggest set ups and kit that could provide what you want within the regs.. - Then you will be able to get theft insurance on the bike...

Any wobble in the axle? - bad bearing??.. If ive read correctly these are all pre connecting power tests with just the wheel on its own? May i ask why that motor/kit @Ianb84 ? while police interest in ebikes outside the regs has been slow to start, it seems that in some areas at least...

Welcome, have fun with the bikes and spanners..

Ouch! Glad to hear your getting back in the proverbial saddle.. Just take it at your own pace, Your too old when you want to be too old and no sooner..

Sounds like a set of my first bike stabilisers? , lift them out of the way at speed and benefit from 2 wheel at speed stability even to improve cornering etc.. ? is it gyroscopic stability that keeps a moving bike stable?? Brain fart excuse me.. Would only require the single 5th rear wheel...

My limited understanding is that the controller will be looking for a pattern of pulses from the pas/cadence sensor, dictated by the number and spacing of magnets in the rotating disk, to initiate and continue movement. Overtight cable ties have been found to cut into sensor wires causing...

Once you get the key unlocked and the battery free ebay a new lock and keys ;) they are cheap items easily replaced by undoing a few screws.

Controller labels often have an indication along the lines of "THROTTLE: 1-4.1v" or similar which would confirm it should work. Although an absence is proof of nothing.. can you confirm wire colours red and black ... are connected correctly? And are you connecting directly to the controller...

If you pedal will the motor respond to the throttle? if built for the eu/uk market the controller may be limited to some degree as to what throttle 'service' it can provide if any. If a manual for the bike detailing how to configure its settings isnt available you may find a generic manual...

After being through this with a different dimensioned replacement rim and struggling with spoke sizes,I would suggest buying 9.99 spoke sets from amazon prime for next day delivery, and if the wrong size? return, and order your next best guess.. took me 3 x and less than a week and was pretty...

If regularly disconnected look at anti-spark XT60 or XT90 connectors too.. will save you many startled experiences..

Hope thats a good fit for you, how about an intro post telling us about your plans?

Eating cheese at night will give you nightmares for sure, but dreaming of exercise.. 'Shudder!' At least i hope it was a bad dream? as for preventative measures, perhaps another mirror so i can cast my resting bastard face glance to folk behind me in an attempt to stop similar attacks from the...
